The realtor who punched 3 people at a Trump rally has been let go...

[Frustratedlady]

and his license taken away. This was told to a fellow Democrat who had called the office to complain about what he did. The realty company was trying to figure out the best way to get the word out and the first thing I thought of was Democratic Underground.

The following is a quote from my friend:

"So I just got a call from the Realtor’s office. SHe thanked me for calling. They had already dismissed the Realtor who attacked three people at a Trump rally, pulled his license, and are trying to figure out how to let people know that this was unacceptable."

I hope this is OK to do on DU.

1. K&R

Good, this needed to happen Keller Williams is a good company, my brother worked for them, I am sure this was done quickly.

[Tanuki]

2. He had a prior arrest last year in Florida for "aggravated battery/great bodily harm."

The realty company would have major liability if it kept him around and he erupted and punched a client. He seems to have serious issues.

4. "I don't think I liked this house. Could you sho..." "Oh yeah! Eat my knuckless lady!!" What a

fucking psycho.

[NewJeffCT]

14. I was thinking that myself

"Whaddya mean you won't take my counter-offer???"

[narnian60]

15. +1

[Frustratedlady]

34. I didn't know that. Sounds like he has the same disposition as Trump. They make a good pair. eom

[BlueCaliDem]

3. K&R. Excellent news and a AAA decision by a realty company. That violence can't be condoned in any

which way and he needed to feel that actions have consequences.

Very happy news, FrustratedLady. Thank you for sharing.

[barbtries]

5. i thought you meant let go by the police,

as in without charges. you mean he lost his job right?

[Frustratedlady]

35. Right. That's what the representative at the realty said. eom

[woodsprite]

6. Wasn't he from the Edisto Beach area of SC?

We saw this billboard when traveling through the Edisto area a few weeks ago. My bets are he probably didn't work for this realtor.

[Frustratedlady]

9. I believe it was Keller-Williams Realty. I'm not from that area, but have heard it is a good group.

This incident should deflate that ego of his...a good fit as a supporter of Trump.

[Lithos]

28. They are an Austin company

And are international in their "franchise". They are a little MLMish (like Amway, Mary Kay) in their structure.

I know two of the company Sr. executives and my guess is the leadership has the ideology of making money. Given that this guy was impacting their company's image (and bottom line), they pulled the plug. Easy as the guy was probably just "recruit" at the bottom of the pyramid.

23. The OTHER Trumpie who punched the 69 yr old woman was from Edisto SC

This KW realtor grabbed at anti-Trump protestors inside the arena, while the other guy punched out the anti-Trump woman outside the venue when rally was over.

7. Do you have a link?

[Frustratedlady]

8. There isn't a link, it was a reply to a call by my friend in complaint about the actions...

of their realtor. Following is the initial comment she received when she made the original call:

"I called the number for the Keller Williams broker….the very nice receptionist told me that he actually works from a different office and gave me the number, 828-290-8183, and left a detailed message, along with my name and number."

The original article was posted last night on DU. I can see if I can find it.

[Siwsan]

11. I tried going to their web site link associated with his name, and it's giving an error message

I'll interpret that as 'He's outta here.'

[louis-t]

10. I question whether he has already had his license taken away.

That falls to the state and it usually takes a while to accomplish.

[progressoid]

12. I was thinking the same.

Seems like something the State deals with, not the realtor.

[Frustratedlady]

16. The realty company might have pulled his license from their file (they surely have a copy)

so he can't legally sell in their company's name, but then notified the state to officially pull it. I don't know. It is just what the woman said to my friend.

[louis-t]

19. They would have sent his license back to the state.

If he were merely changing companies, his new broker would then get a new copy with the new company name on it. Licenses typically have to be displayed at the place of business. If there is a complaint against him, it would have to be investigated by the licensing dept. Usually takes weeks if not months to do.

[Scruffy1]

21. I think that's ok.

Word gets around and his real estate career is done. I can't imagine any broker taking him on because of the liability issues, not tp mention the bad press in an business that mainly sells image.

[erronis]

37. So what do you do when you can't sell real estate?

- cosmetology?
- homeopathic doc?
- used car salesman?
- minister of a pentacostal church?
- politician?
- the choices go on and on - endless ways to make $s with zero skills
- fill-in-your-blanks

[Ford_Prefect]

39. You left out investment banking

[George II]

32. In some states the employer sponsors the employee in getting a license.

[GWC58]

13. I hope

this maniac is still in the "birdcage," with a high bail!😡

[bluestateguy]

17. FYI for the future

There is a website that specializes in getting racists fired from their jobs.


Check it out.

31. good to know. eom

[bluedigger]

18. If this is from South Carolina then I doubt he has had his re licence affected.

from the SC RE licence website:

Complaint/Disciplinary Information

The Commission can take disciplinary action against a licensee only if there are facts which support a charge resulting in the finding of a violation(s) of the S.C. Real Estate License Law. The Commission is not empowered to assist with the following type of complaints:

Contract matters such as questions about listing agreements, management agreements, sales contracts and leases for which you need to contact an attorney;

Earnest money or security deposit disputes that must be heard by a magistrate;

Disputes over payment for services either by or to a licensee;

Disputes with your landlord about property condition, past due rent, eviction notices and the like;

Complaints that do not involve a licensed real estate licensee;

Complaints about managers of homeowners associations; or

Complaints relating to licensee ethical behavior or poor business manners

[louis-t]

20. I would think punching someone doesn't fall under 'ethics'.

I think it depends on what he is convicted of. If it's a felony, technically he can't get (or renew?) a Real Estate license.

[bluedigger]

22. I guess if having a felony is a violation of SC RE laws it would.

But they don't mention anything other than failure to disclose priors during the application process. It's not like a medical or law degree, you only need a HS diploma.

[wishstar]

24. No, this realtor guy was from NC. Different guy who assaulted the 69 yr old woman was from SC nt

There were two Trump supporters who assaulted people. This realtor guy inside during the rally, and the other guy outside after the rally.

[lark]

25. The lady seriously needs to press charges.

Taking his job just isn't enough when he could have taken her life. He is one of many poster children for "deplorable".

[saltpoint]

26. Incarceration, incarceration, incarceration. eom

[PasadenaTrudy]

27. Never trust a realtor

[getagrip_already]

29. how can a realtor pull another realtors license?

This makes zero sense. Licenses aren't issued by employers, they are issued by the state/local gov.

This smells like a cover up. I'd check back next week and see if he is in the office.

[ToxMarz]

30. Yes but you have to hang the license with a active and licensed

Brokerage company to use them. By "pulling" they mean his license is no longer active under their Brokerage. He needs to find another company that will accept him, or start his own firm. And he can't legally engage is Real Estate activities with the public until he does.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

33. Let go? You mean he won't go to court?

?

At least his license got pulled, that's nice at least.

[ailsagirl]

36. Actions have consequences

I hope the former realtor learned a lesson, though I doubt it

He's probably 50x angrier now

[catbyte]

38. I'm sure he'll play the victim. Is there a Gofundme page set up yet?
